Should France support the Kurds in establishing their own territory?
In 2016 fighting broke out between Turkish armed forces and the Kurdish YPG militia in northern Syria. President Hollande blamed Turkey for using military force against the Kurds instead of fighting ISIS. France has historically backed the Kurds against Turkey since 150,000 immigrants migrated into France in the 1970s.

No, but we should help to protect their fair political right
Yes, as long as it does not provoke or exacerbate unnecessary conflict
@9CJHLWL9mos9MO
Government as a whole should not support groups outside of their country.
@9BZBXTM11mos11MO
Yes, but only to help establish a Kurdish nationalist state with a constitutional autocratic monarchy.
@98FHF3W1yr1Y
No, a positive diplomatic and economic relationship with states containing large kurdish populations such as turkey and Iraq are more important than the creation of an independent kurdish state
@962KL2Y12mos12MO
Yes, but through dialogue with their neighbours so as to not stoke the fires of resentment

Yes, but with a diplomatic way
@7NN387NRepublicans3yrs3Y
Yes militarily but not financially
